MPHS FCCLA Students Advance to State

The Mount Pleasant High School chapter of FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) competed at the Region III meeting in Waco, Texas on Friday, February 9.

Three teams competed in the Culinary Arts competition and two students competed in the Cupcake Battle competition. The team of Michael Cortez, Tyrese Milton, and Matthew Braudaway placed 5th out of 24 teams in the Culinary Arts competition and advanced to the State Meet April 5-7 in Dallas.

The team of Alicia Bello, Lizbeth Mejia and Samantha Garcia competed in Life Event Planning.  For their project, they planned and organized a baby shower.  They came up with a theme, invitations and had to stay within a budget.  These young ladies placed 2nd out of seven teams and will be moving on to State competition as well.

Ashley Rodriguez received a bronze medal for her efforts in Education and Training FCS-Assessments.  Ashley scored better than 200 other testers and represented Mount Pleasant well at the Regional Competition.

“All the competitors and advisors spent countless hours studying and preparing for the competition and the results prove that Mount Pleasant FCCLA is a force to be reckoned with,” said Aimee Sweeden, MPHS teacher and one of the FCCLA sponsors. “We are all are excited about the upcoming State Competition.”

Other FCCLA sponsors are Chef Jamie Hudman and Margaret Bradley.
